Stockbridge Village

Sometimes, you know, teachers putting chairs away, preparing the room.

to take a class um when they haven't got their own studio and i used to have to take up about god about 60 carpet tiles and stack them up in the corner and then at the end of the day after teaching all day i used to have to put the carpet tiles back and it was so destroying I used to hate it I used to be like that sometimes I'd be looking at the stack of carpet tiles like that thinking oh god I don't want to put you back today but yeah I had to do that I remember to advertise my school this is how different things were back then I remember taking the kids for a walk around Cantrell Farm shops, which is now, I say Cantrell Farm shops, it was Stockbridge Village, but I remember it as Cantrell Farm because that's what it was called when I was a little girl.

But I remember walking the kids all around Stockbridge Village shops in their new uniforms with their new hoodies on and their sweatpants and their jazz shoes, walking and singing.

around the shops as an advert and it worked.

It was just to let people know that we were there and that we were a community, we were a team.

And then, as you were very young, you know, it was a bit difficult because, you know, we lived in a masonette before we got a ground floor place, you know, and that.

So that was at the time on Stockbridge Village.

It used to be called Cantrell Farm.

Yeah.

it didn't have a name and it was, you know, they used to rehearse on the farm and it became The Farm.

It sort of, people th- there's an area of Liverpool or, called Cantril Farm where Peter used to work and everyone assumed it was that, but no, it was, uh, it was just the rehearsals.

Yeah.

So you join I think 1987, and then there's a few lineup changes and the band's sound evolves quite a lot.
